First of all, I would like to present the idea the Pink is not talking about symphony as usual. He is talking about symphony in more of a way that we need to see a whole picture out of the many details. I always thought of symphony as the working together of things that are part of a whole, but Pink is talking about the working together of things that are not part of a whole, he is saying that people need to see the interaction between things that are not usually understood to fit together. What Pink said reminded me of what we do in my English 9 honors class because we take different subjects and connect them to all different parts of our lives. It doesn't matter how closely related they are, you can find a connection somehow somewhere and I find that it helps me to remember all of these different things a whole lot easier.
The reason that symphony can not be replaced by a computer is because computers can only recognize what they have been programmed to recognize. They can only produce what they have been programmed to produce. Also, computers themselves have to look at the details because a computer program has tons of little things that are typed out for the program in order for it to function. So the computer cannot just look at the whole big picture, it can produce a whole big picture but itself cannot see the program as a produced whole the computer will always see it as all of those little typed out letters.
I liked how Pink said that symphony is in those who have the ability to see the big picture- to sort out what is important and what really matters. They have a decided advantage in their pursuit of personal well-being. I can relate to this in the way that when I feel over whelmed with homework it is because I am looking too closely at the details and I need to see that whole picture and realize what is important now and what can be saved till later.
Pink brought to my attention that symphony is a large part of memories. Memories take to details and put them into one neat picture that you can remember as a single event.
When Pink was talking about drawing and how it is largely about relationships that combine to create the whole, it reminded me of the brain and how it has all of the little parts that are combined to create one whole brain which functions as one.
One thing that bothers me about this book is that he does not stress enough the importance of creating something NEW. People can use all of these different senses and things like that but they will get nowhere if they do not come up with new things. People get easily bored and if you are not offering something totally new, something that intrigues them because it is something that they have not yet explored.
Perspective is more important than IQ and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Theory of Innovation: combining two existing nobody else ever thought to unite: reminded me of the movie Ratatouille. In this movie clip, the rat loves food a loves to combine different, unexpected flavors, and create a symphony of flavors. (Ratatouille)
I disagree extremely with the quote that Pink has on page 142 that says," The guy who invented the wheel was an idiot. The guy who invented the other three, he was a genius. I disagree with this because it is a lot harder to invent something new then it is to reproduce something already invented. But then on the flip side I agree because the first guy could have just found a round rock and rolled it down a hill. The next guy made the other four because he came up with the idea to put four wheels and something and then you can make it roll.
I would like to say that I came to the conclusion that this book is nothing special. Nothing out of the ordinary because these things are already very prominent in our society today. I also believe that he should have made this book into a more right brain oriented book since he is talking about the right brain. Why did he divide it into such specific sections if he is telling us to look at the big picture, and also if we do not have the details we would not have the big picture? So he really is very contradictory and hypocritical. I do think that he wrote this book just to bring these things to peoples attention and to let them know that they need to balance out there brains because people today are going to go through a shock when they notice that they no longer can only have the ability to do one alalicical thing but companies will want people that can do more than one thing and can do things that the computers that they have can't do. I also was disapointed in the fact that he talked more about drawing then he did about music, but I am thinking that it is because he is relating two different things to create a WHOLE chapter.
